The Weekly Discussion will be a period of time in which the IRC channel will be dedicated to discussing a specific topic. I'm very interested in hearing what everyone thinks. Post here or go to #SoSZ on LunarNet with your feedback.

Only problem I've got is that I'll miss out on the conversations being in the wrong time zone!

Considering those simrtk laws barely get enforced on simrtk, good luck.

James, I think you should make this unofficial room official, add a link on your menu bar up above for a chat applet that can provide greater accessibility to the room for forum-goers.

It's definitely a bummer that there doesn't seem to be a time that works out perfectly for Britain, NA east coast and NA west coast [edit: and Australia. Sorry I almost forgot you guys!]. But I think we should just try the Weekly Discussion thing and see what happens. Seems like the difficult thing is to pick a topic that makes for a good chat. "How was your day?" is popular here on the forum but doesn't really fit the bill, for example.

Mithril! The dwarves tell no tales. But just as it was the foundation of their wealth, so also it was their destruction. They delved too greedily and too deep, and disturbed that from which they fled.

For you it might have been stimulating, but for me it was almost 3am and I barely remember any of it. I just remember calling LGZ a slanderous liar. But yes, the point stands that, despite not having over 10 members on IRC at any given time, there have been discussions going back and forth!

Since I'm on break until late January I'll be on IRC as long as I'm at my laptop. Should I decide to go out of my seat for something that requires getting up, I won't quit the room or anything. Once the semester kicks in, I should be online after 3pm PST on weekdays, and sometimes earlier.

Perhaps use that to start off, like a test thing and see what happens? Depending on the crowd that IRC attracts, you might need different topics for different people, the way I see it. Some people who frequent Current Affairs might not be into the whole IRC/online chatroom deal, for example. This might not be true, it's just an example.

If it could possibly help, I wonder if we can put up a list of the time zones of people who frequent the IRC chatroom the most. That way it could be easier to track down potential users who are up for discussion of x y z topics.

Also, if you have the time to be online, please don't leave after 10 seconds because there's no activity. It doesn't take up a lot of CPU memory to keep that chatroom tab up.
